The Moth and the Moon Jar

Some lights go dark not because they are gone, but because they are waiting to be found.

Fern is a Tender, a quiet moth who collects and preserves light in tiny jars beneath an ancient willow. She believes her purpose is to keep things safe and still, until an exhausted traveler named Cinder arrives carrying too much luggage and an unlit lantern. As they share nettle tea and quiet mornings, Fern begins to question if keeping something means holding it tight... or letting it go.

A gentle fairytale about loss, rest, and the quiet magic of letting someone help.
